A rail car loaded with railroad ties is shown Aug. 8, 2018, at the rail yard at Fort McCoy, Wis. Fort McCoy’s rail infrastructure has seen improvements in recent years and more work is planned. From the earliest days of Fort McCoy’s nearly 110-year history, railways have played an important role in the post’s mission. Whether it was transporting troops in for training during World War II or bringing in equipment and supplies for a present-day exercise on post, rail continues to be a primary mode of transportation at the installation.
